The sixth annual World Tango Championships in Buenos Aires has ended with an Argentine couple taking home the glory.
It takes two to tango, as the old saying goes, but it may take two native Argentines to dance it right.

The competition drew to a close in downtown Buenos Aires on Monday (September 1).

Anna Sui at New York Fashion Week - Spring / Summer 2009 Collection New York’s favourite hippie-chick was looking to Egypt, where she recently spent several weeks exploring Luxor,
Karnak and Cairo, in her collection for next season. This spelt out peasant
blouses and smock dresses in Pharisaic prints, hieroglyphic patterns embellished
with fringing and chunky Cleopatra-style jewellery. But there was equally
a heavy doze of Mexicana, via boho-dresses in tequila sunrise colours, worn with embroidered espadrilles and tasselled bags.

Paris Hilton finds new "best friend"
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Paris Hilton launched a television show to look for a new best friend who was hot, loyal and "paparazzi-ready" -- and she says she found exactly what she was looking for.
Hilton, 27, the millionaire socialite, said some 300,000 Americans applied to take part in the reality series "Paris Hilton's My New BFF" (Best Friend Forever), which begins airing on
September 30 on MTV.
The 16 women and two men selected to compete had to perform a series of challenges to be Hilton's new BFF, including how to look hot on a rollercoaster and making a commercial for one of
her fashion products. She has now picked a winner with whom she said she has struck up a real, off-screen friendship.
"The person who won is now my best friend. We hang out. Yeah, we're really friends," Hilton told Reuters on Tuesday.
"We've been having barbecues and hanging out at the house. The winner and I have been pretty low-key so far, because it is top secret right now," she said.
Hilton said the TV show prepared the contestants for life in Hollywood and hectic red carpet events, parties, and product launches -- all under the constant glare of photographers. read more...
